30-something, loved this book!

Where does Goddesses Never Age rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book is in my top 3 of health books I have listened to on Audible. It was informative on so many levels and I enjoyed it so much that I have recommended it to a dozen or so women of different ages.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Goddesses Never Age?

I went into this book looking for health advice, but came out with so much more. I'd have to say her discussion on dealing with past emotions was very helpful to me.

Which character – as performed by Christiane Northrup – was your favorite?

No characters except myself. So, I guess I am my favorite character.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES. I listened to it everyday during my commute until it was done. Very interesting, very easy to understand, well narrated, and I just loved it.

Any additional comments?

I read the other reviews on this book and noticed a few folks taking issue with her mentioning her love for dancing the tango at various points in the book. I also noticed people complaining that you'd need to be living a life of leisure into practice. BS. That is NOT true. I work a full-time job and I commute FOUR HOURS A DAY in Los Angeles traffic AND I am a single parent to a teen living on a non-profit museum salary! I never once felt like her suggestions were out of my reach. She never says, "You must do Pilates, dance tango, work from home, blah blah blah, in order to be healthy." She simple gives ideas on things that have brought her joy, happiness, and health in order to inspire to reader to find their own way. At her suggestion to try new things, I enrolled in a Pilates class because it was something that I have always wanted to do and even though my first lesson had me feeling like a fat Mr. Bean tangled in an octopus, I kept thinking about how encouraging her words were as I stuck it out! Her food suggestions are ON POINT and totally back by current nutritional science and I loved her writing style and "voice." Loved this book. ALL females should read it. Seriously.

Shoot me now!

Contemplating everything this book says to do to slow the aging made me exhausted. The plethora of suggestions were all very worthy, but you would literally have to devote all day, every day to accomplishing them. In some ways, it felt like a prescription for the idle rich. And, Dr. Northrup's passion for tango was mentioned so many times, I had a good mind to dance my red editor's pen straight through those sections.

Absolutely the best book I have ever read!

I bought the Audible version and knew fairly quickly that i had to have the print version as well. This book is a treasure trove of cutting edge information on staying healthy and fit and loving life, regardless of age. I love the wealth of resources that Dr. Northrup puts at our fingertips. I have already purchased two of the books she recommends and I am finding then to be all that she said that they are. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Dr Northrup , for this uplifting and empowering book! I love it and am recommending it to every woman I know!

Expected this to be better

This was a huge disappointment. I've read previous books by the same author and thought the information was more universal. I feel this book is clearly written for someone living a life of leisure... as I can't imagine running around spending all my time trying to fulfill my desires and feel pleasure when I am working 50-60 hours a week to support a household.

For most of the book though, I felt like she was just rattling off silly new age tips and ideas, and there wasn't any point to what she was saying, other than if you spend all of your time pursuing pleasure, you'll be ageless. Don't buy a crappy chocolate cake, get a gourmet one. Ok? There were also times were I felt like I was being lectured, which made me like the book even less. Her voice certainly didn't help with that.

Stellar Book

Amazing information! It's so positive and uplifting. This is truly what womanhood is about. Every woman needs to read this book; young and "old."

Good Content

Would you listen to Goddesses Never Age again? Why?

yes, it is filled with informative, inspirational, and empowering content.

What did you like best about this story?

As a over 55 woman, I was able to relate to most of the situations addressed.

What does Christiane Northrup bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

To listen to the author narrate was beneficial because it gave more impact to the truth of what she had written. It is a lengthy book even in audible form. (I've listened through two times and then certain chapters 3 or 4 times.) I will be buying the hardcopy to go back and listen again in order to highlight and reinforce the most meaningful passages.

Any additional comments?

She definitly has "turned on the lightbulb" to take control of my life to have fun with things I want to try, not always following what others expect of me or what they want to do. So at the end of the day, I can now cross things off of my list for myselfs' sake of joy, not the responsibility or obligation list. MY very own singular, personal, bucket list. Little and big. ie: I took an online course to get a license for a particular profession so now I don't have to punch a time clock or sit in a cublicle for employment or work with my husband!!!! this is hugely empowering... And I went to a Jareds jewelry store. Stupid yes, but always wanted to see what those great ads were about. No, I missed nothing. Will not go back to one. Yes, the book is worth the audible and hardcopy.

Too nutty for me

This book was a complete disappointment. There are very few books about mature women's health, and I had high hopes when I bought this. Although there were some good ideas and useful content, the book is mostly useless and bizarre ramblings about astrology and other nuttiness. Dr. Northrup had a great opportunity to do a lot of good, but wasted it, and wasted my time.

Fabulous!!!

This is what every woman should read / hear no matter what faith she practices. I learned so much. I played chapters and large sections over and over again. Thank you Dr. Northrup 🌷

People actually believe this hokum?

I was recommended this book by a friend but wouldn't recommend it myself. It's full of claims that can be backed up with scientific evidence let alone clinical trials. Some of the ideas are fine, eat well, meditate, exercise, don't let your age define you but some are loony. I'm pretty sure you can get the good information from more credible sources and avoid the suspect stuff.

You don't have to be all in to derive good advice

I have listened to a copious amount of audio books, from self-help to academic reads on gnosticism and everything in between. Even if you aren't on board with the level of woo (this one reads high on my hippy dippy scale), there are plenty of good pieces of advice. Even for the skeptics, you don't have to digest the whole meal, just take away what you like and what serves you. Excellent work, broad topics, solid suggestions for what we are all searching for... wholeness and happiness.
